The Effect of Necessary Images on the Angels Entering Homes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it true that the angels of mercy do not enter most homes today, if not all of them, because of the presence of images in the identity cards of most people? Do necessary images prevent the angels from entering, or do they not?
Answer:
Images that are required and permissible do not prevent them, and images that are degraded and disrespected do not prevent them. What prevents them are the images taken for memories, which are not needed and not necessary, or the images hung on the walls; these are the ones that prevent them. As for necessary images, one must keep them in the homes out of necessity; these do not prevent them. Whatever is permitted by the Shari'ah does not contain evil. Yes.
